Chad wins again!! Exposed hand plays a big part!

Chad had another nice run finishing 1st, with John coming in 2nd. After an exposed hand allowed Chad to check, he saved a ton of chips in what surely would have been a big bet on the river. With John holding Quad 8's, Chad was aggressive throughout the hand betting and raising with Ace high on a seemingly harmless board. John held a couple of snowmen, and flopped a set. He slow played it nicely, Chad made big bets on the flop and turn, John smooth called. On the river is where it became shady. Jeff checked first to act, John checked, setting up Chad for a big check raise. Jeff showed Chad his hand while the action was still hot, Chad was getting ready to push in a big bet, but quickly threw on the breaks when he saw Jeff holding an Ace as well. It was a pivotal point which probably would have lead to Chad finishing 8th rather than 1st. It was an otherwise good game, but points out the fact we will install new game rules to follow.
